Frequently asked questions about TSH testing
What is the cheapest way to get a TSH test?
The cheapest TSH test is DrSays ($19), or Vitals Vault ($99) if you want a 37-biomarker bundle that includes TSH.
Do I need a doctor's order to get a TSH test?
No. The standalone TSH tests listed above include the physician order in their price, so you can buy it online and have your blood drawn without your own doctor. You would only need your own doctor's order if you want to bill the test to insurance.
How much does a TSH test cost at LabCorp?
LabCorp doesn't publish a flat consumer price for TSH, and it varies by location. The cheapest way to have TSH drawn at a LabCorp Patient Service Center is through DrSays, a LabCorp-network lab, at $19 all-in ($8.99 + $9.99 collection fee).
What is a normal TSH level?
Most labs use a normal TSH range of roughly 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L. A high TSH usually points to an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), while a low TSH suggests an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
Do I need to fast for a TSH test?
No fasting is required. Because TSH varies through the day and is typically highest in the early morning, some clinicians prefer a consistent morning draw when monitoring thyroid treatment.
